eating local in august

So, for the month of August, all the food I buy is going to be from the farmers' market or the co-op, with the co-op foods being marked as local, with the following exceptions: milk, juice, yogurt, salad greens, and dry goods. I'm also going to keep eating things that are already in my kitchen (including my very full freezer), and I'll probably buy lunch or otherwise eat out a few times, but this should be fun. I don't know how different it'll really be, since I buy most of my produce at the farmers' market anyway, but I like the idea.
